This is a nice little fact sheet put together by the NRA-ILA about the Clinton AWB of 1994 for those of you who want an all out gun ban. This will tell you why it won't work. I would have to agree with Samurai Goomba and CmdrKinslayer. Minors shouldn't be and aren't allowed to carry. I am of the age that I can legally buy everything the Bureau for All Things Fun allows. I took hunter's education and learned about proper firearm safety from my dad. I am planning to apply for a concealed carry license when the next class comes around. I also plane on keeping my nose clean so I can fully exercise my constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. It was this right that allowed us to win our independence but keep it from the British during the war of 1812. There is gun crime in Britain and they virtually have a gun ban. Banning guns will do nothing, but what do I know I am, after all, a right-wing extremist who clings to his guns and religion.

I said the reason a kid would have a gun is protection. I didn't say this kidguardian001 said:Read the last sentence bud... it quite clearly relates to what you said... accidental suicide != protection.mike1921 said:...................... irrelevent to what I said [...] I know the last one'd be prevented if the kid had to pass training to use a gun.
saw thatIf you had actually bothered to read the last article, you might have seen:
"the boy's father was supporting his son from behind when the shooting happened."
and
Meaning either this kid can't handle the recoil or they instructed him wrong."Police said the boy, Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Conn., was with a certified instructor"
meaning that not only was he instructed, somebody else was helping him hold the weapon.
Adults do that to, also the training I suggest would lower the number of idiots.You say kids should be allowed to carry guns for protection. Kids, you know, the ones who make videos of themselves doing unbelievably stupid things?
if the result is severe pain than who cares?The ones who, despite having been told not to do something, will run off to do it, usually resulting in severe pain? The ones who don't learn from these mistakes and make a second video of them doing something equally stupid?
They told me what and wasn't safe, and I sorted out the bullshit (my mom is illogically afraid of going up stairs for example, I knew it when I was 7). Yes I pay attention to it, unless I'm playing RON or am online, in which case I have ear phones on. Also, if they let 16 year olds (17 year olds in New Jersey) drive 3000 ton vehicles, things much more fucking dangerous, that they are trained on how to use, my last worry is them getting guns.Training essentially means nothing. You can teach a person anything, but what you can't do is make them give a shit. Or even remember it. Did your parents ever tell you what was and wasn't safe? Did you ever pay attention to what they said? What makes you think these kids will retain the information for more than 15 seconds after they receive their license?
It's not a risk, it's a guarantee, irresponsible kids already do that. Unless somehow this would stop that I can't see how I could argue with what you said.Sure, there will be responsible kids who won't make complete fools out of themselves and hurt somebody, but there will also be the ones who bullshit their way through the instructions and do something stupid afterwards. It's just not worth the risk.
...what kind of idiots did you know in school? If my replica pistol from the 1870s was real I could take down a guy armed with a rocket launcher if I'm fast enough.nova18 said:I get the logic of giving them a better way to defend themselves, but kids with guns is going to cause more deaths than it will save lives. Imagine the old "My dad could beat your dad" arguments, but replace dad's with guns.
Then imagine that argument turning into a full gunfight.

.........The average member at /b/ probably isn't smart enough to pass the training that me and the OP both required. You're arguing against either a strawman or some fucktard who thinks kids should have guns without being told how to use them in which case report and move on.traceur_ said:10 year olds with guns, yeh that can't possibly go wrong.
If I was allowed to carry one I would never use it to harm someone unless they were intent on harming me, even then I would just threaten them with it, I would only let loose if they were holding a gun to me.
remember "all under 18's" includes the underage members of 4chan... BAD IDEA
Now that is some black humour just there.. actually made me laugh.Nmil-ek said:If kids can carry guns i demand the right to drive a tank.
So irrelevant.Notsomuch said:Everyone should carry guns at all times. Kids should carry guns to school, nurses should carry guns into the hospital, everyone should be handed a gun before they enter a plane to prevent terrorism. Can you see how safe that would be? everyone able to stop violence by being able to shoot any threat on a moments notice. Since everyone has a gun, no one would want to take out their gun in fear that another person will shoot them. Incidentally, every nation should have intercontinental ballistic missiles for the same reason. I'm drowning in sarcasm. Yo dog, I heard you like guns so I put a gun on your gun so you can shoot while your shooting.
I hate to point this out, but here in Britain, we aren't planning to retry invading you again (although 'invade' isn't the right word for 'putting down a revolt').SmogCzar said:http://clintongunban.com/FactSheets.aspx?i=160&a=Fact%20Sheet
